Science - Botany / climate change -
Spanish term or phrase: firmante
Pudimos constatar que todas las especies respondieron de forma similar, mediante la acumulación de compuestos fotoprotectores (tocoferol o vitamina E), disminución del contenido de clorofila y la activación del denominado "ciclo de las xantofilas", senala a XXXX el primer firmante del trabajo, José XXXX
